A twice convicted murderer, an alias, and a fugitive on the run. 

In 2002, Ivora “Ivory” Huntley was murdered in Oakland, California after stepping in to protect a friend from an abusive boyfriend. The man accused of killing her, DeMorris Hunter, disappeared. 

Months later and nearly 3,000 miles away, another woman was murdered.

As investigators began piecing together the connections between the two cases, they uncovered a disturbing history of violence dating back nearly two decades — and discovered the man they were looking for was living under an alias.

A missing woman, a hotel card, and a fax number. 

On January 29th, 1999, 45-year-old Diane Wolf vanished after a shift at Hanover Foods. 

She was last captured on surveillance video making a $300 deposit at the drive through ATM at Allfirst Bank. Her 1994 teal Pontiac Grand Prix was later found at Weis Market. 

As investigators re-examined the case a decade later, new clues surfaced. Perhaps Diane’s life was more complicated than anyone originally thought. Diane Wolf remains missing. 

At the time of her disappearance, Diane was 45 years old, 5’6, 180 pounds with brown eyes. She had recently dyed her hair red. Diane wore glasses, has three earrings on each ear, and a purple rose tattoo on her left ankle. 

Anyone with any information regarding the disappearance of Diane Wolf has been asked to contact PSP Gettysburg at 717-334-8111 or Adams County Crimestoppers who are offering a cash reward. Tips can also be submitted here.
